  The Biden administration would like for car manufacturers to equip their vehicles with new and improved emergency braking systems that could reduce accidents and save lives. Car manufacturers would rather not. So a lobbying group representing the biggest names in automotives is suing to stop the new rule from taking effect.

The article from Gizmodo discusses how major automakers are urging the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to reconsider its proposed rule that would mandate automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems in all new passenger vehicles by 2029. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing companies like General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen, has expressed concerns over the feasibility of the NHTSA's timeline and performance requirements, particularly the ability of AEB systems to stop vehicles at speeds up to 62 mph and detect pedestrians in various conditions. The automakers argue that these requirements could lead to unintended consequences like increased rear-end collisions due to sudden stops, and they are pushing for a more gradual implementation schedule to allow for technological advancements and testing. The NHTSA's proposal aims to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries, but the industry fears that rushing the technology could compromise safety and effectiveness.
